A Statement on the Obligation of Supporting Palestinians Defending Al-Aqsa Mosque and Sheikh Jarrah Neighborhood

 

 

Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds. May His peace and blessings be upon Prophet Mohammad, his family and companions.

 

In light of the barbarous campaign launched by the Israeli occupation forces against the Palestinians stationed in East Jerusalem`s Sheikh Jarrah, the subsequent violations at Al-Aqsa mosque and the attacks against Palestinian worshippers stationed there.

 

The General Iftaa` Department, in the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, reaffirms its condemnation of these unethical practices, which contradict the values of tolerance, peaceful coexistence and human rights. It reaffirms that the Palestinian residents of Jerusalem has the right to defend the Islamic holy sites and foil Israeli attempts to ban worshippers from praying at Al-Aqsa. This is in addition to harassing Jerusalemites, driving them out of their homes and placing restrictions on entering Al-Aqsa mosque, which is an integral part of a Muslim`s faith as it is the first direction of prayer,  the second mosque ever established for mankind on earth and the third holiest mosque.

 

We pray that Allah helps the Palestinians and supports their steadfastness against this heinous enemy. We also stress that defending Palestine and Al-Aqsa mosque is the religious duty of every Muslim person, leaders, governments and thinkers. However, this begins by holding on to the religious constants and Islamic creed, in addition to reminding people about the significance of Al-Aqsa mosque and the sufferings of the Jerusalemites at the hands of the Israeli occupation forces. Allah The Almighty Says (What means): "God has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion - the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace: ’They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me. ’If any do reject Faith after this, they are rebellious and wicked." [An-Nur, 55]. We highly appreciate their steadfastness in defending the Islamic holy sites in Jerusalem. We also stress the role and importance of the Hashemite custodianship over Al-Aqsa mosque in terms of safeguarding Islamic and Christian holy sites. This custodianship is the first line of defense against usurpation or aggression in terms of time and place. We are thankful to His Majesty King Abdullah the 2nd for his relentless efforts in support of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa mosque. We will always follow his wise leadership, which didn`t flinch from sacrificing everything for the sakes of Al-Aqsa mosque and the just causes of the Arab nation.

 

We pray that Allah pardons our mistakes, achieves our aspirations, grants us victory over our enemies and blesses us with liberating our Islamic sanctities, and that for God is surely no great matter.

Summarized Fatawaa

What is the ruling on vomiting, and does it invalidate ablution?

Vomit is impure (najis). Its exit is not considered one of the nullifiers of ablution. However, the mouth must be washed and purified from it, and any that gets on clothing or the body must be washed for prayer, because prayer is not valid with impurity present on the body or clothing. And Allah the Almighty knows best.

What is the ruling on combining prayers at the Musala (Place for prayer) of a shopping center because of heavy rain, knowing that some people come from outside that center?

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.

If there is hardship in going back to that Musala at the time of Asr or Isha` prayers, then it is permissible to combine prayers in twos only (Duhr with Asr and Maghrib with Isha`). Kindly consider calling us. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible to make up missed prayers at the times in which praying is disliked?

All perfect praise be to Allah,The Lord of The Worlds                                                                                                                                                                        It is permissible to make up missed prayers at any time even that in which praying is disliked. Absolute supererogatory prayer is forbidden to be performed at the times in which praying is disliked, and this also applies to Ihram and Istikhara prayers. However, there is no harm in offering prayers in Mekah during those times. And Allah Knows Best.

What is the ruling on wiping the head during ablution from behind a barrier like a headscarf (hijab)?

The obligation in ablution is to wipe some of the head; it is not a condition to wipe all of it. As for one who has a turban or headscarf on their head, it is permissible for them to wipe over it after wiping a part of their head in any place. This is easily done at the front of the head. This means the woman begins by wiping the front of her head from under the headscarf, then completes the wiping to the back of the head from over the headscarf. If the woman wipes over the headscarf on her head and the moisture reaches the scalp or some hair within the boundaries of the head, it suffices for wiping the head. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
